The C-BORD Framework will help customs analyse their needs, design
integrated solutions, and optimise the container
inspection chain; it will address detection levels, false alarms
levels, throughput, health & safety, logistics and cost &
benefits.
C-BORD will increase the probability of finding illicit or
dangerous content with at least equal throughput of containers per
time unit, reduce the need for costly, time-consuming and
dangerous manual container inspections by customs officials, and
in case a container is opened, increase the probability of finding
illicit materials.

On 3 custom sites, integrated solutions will be trialled
respectively addressing the needs of big seaports, small seaports
and mobile land-borders.
To optimise sustainable impact, C-BORD will actively engage with a
large community, will support policy implementation, evolution and
start early
exploitation planning.

The project is funded by EU Commission under Horizon 2020 research
and innovation programme

Starting date: June 2015

Ending date: November 2018

The C-BORD Consortium is composed of 19 partners from 9 european
countries and consists of Legal Persons, Research
Institutes, SMEs and Public Bodies.
The project is expected to last 42 months with a budget of EUR
11.8 million.
